(OELRICHS, S.D.)-Fall River County Sheriff Rich Mraz says the deaths of an Oelrichs, S.D., couple last month has been investigated and determined to be a murder-suicide. Mraz says 76-year-old Fred Conley shot his wife, 74-year-old Roxie “Sue” Conley, and then shot himself. The Conleys were found in their home on Monday, February 17th.

Mraz says the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation has completed their investigation, and returned autopsy results are consistent in their findings. He says there weren’t any notes left at the scene, but other issues in the case also concur with the evidence. He called the situation “a tragic deal.”
